...you might be interested in knowing that The Marquis, Guy's incredible creator-owned book, is coming to Dark Horse!
In September 2009, we'll be releasing The Marquis: Inferno, a new edition the material previously collected in Danse Macabre and Intermezzo, with revisions, recolored story pages by Dave Stewart, an expanded sketchbook section, a full-color cover gallery, and a new introduction by Mike Mignola.
But the most exciting part is due out the following March: the first in a series of new Marquis graphic novels, The Marquis and the Midwife
If you're not familiar with The Marquis, it's one of the most incredible, terrifying, gorgeous pieces of period horror ever to come to comics. You can see a couple story pages--as well as mock-ups of the covers of the first two Dark Horse volumes--at the link above; they're beautiful, but the work as a whole is breathtaking.
Can you tell I'm excited about this?

So does this mean scientists have found a way to clone a human being? Guy is so busy doing BPRD books and character designs and commissions, now he's squeezing in the Marquis? Don't get me wrong, I've been a fan of Guys since his days on The Realm and Baker Street and the Marquis is one of my favorites of his body of work, but holy cow he's going to be busy.

This is great news. I have read the two graphic novels published by Oni Press and I think they are brilliant, dark and horrific. The subject matter does seem to be a perfect match for Dark Horse. It will be interesting to see the hell sequence re-coloured by Dave Stewart and I'm really looking forward to reading new Marquis material. 2010 will be here before we know it.
I really, really hope that Guy can stay on as the principle illustrator for BPRD for a good long time but occasional stints by other artists like Paul Azaceta on the 1946 arc will allow him to work on both projects.Recent Nature Sightings:
Sept 24: Two Orcas close to shore.
Nov 14: Trumpeter Swans, Bald Eagles catching salmon (and a duck!), Harbour Seals, Steller Sea Lions, Kingfisher.

Yeah
Marquis is the book that made me a Guy Davis fan. All that zip a tone. Awesome! So I guess this is the best place to show my new Guy Davis original art acquisition!

Hollow18: Yeah.
Chillingly good stuff besides Mignola, Slint, M, Knut and really big chunks of tinfoil?Been called a 'good egg'. Been told to rock, been told to steady myself. Been told to (please) be goin' places.
Half sunk in the mud, with one eye showing / a cracked smile and hair still growing /
your hands miles apart, as if they'd never met / you were the happiest I'd seen you yet. ~ (full) lyrics to 'Exhume' by Bedhead.

Thanks for posting, Rachel.
It's a class move for Dark Horse to re-publish The Marquis... It shows real respect to a prolific and talented artist.Strangebeard: It's not the size of the pirate in the fight, but the size of the fight in the pirate.
